Updates and Reminders

Eastview Elementary School - September 3, 2015

Friends,

As I've said before, it's not about programs. It's about people. I've also talked about treating everyone as though they are good. In speaking with Mr. Collins this morning, he expressed agreement with those statements and complimented all of us on the welcoming environment we are striving for here at Eastview. Thank you all for keeping Eastview the kind of place our kiddos deserve.

Kudos to Doug, Gary, and Shawn once again for doing such an excellent job cleaning and maintaining our building. On Wednesday evening, the entire administrative team was in the building and many of them went on and on about how nice things are here. In fact, Jane said the building looks better now than it did when she was a student here. As you know, for many of our students, our school building is the cleanest, safest place they have in their lives.

Next Week:

Monday: No School

Tuesday: PTO Mtg @ 4:00

Wednesday: TSCG In-service at the Resource Center (details below)

Thursday: Elem. Principals' Mtg @ 9:00, Math Night @ 6:00

Friday: Last day to review Reading Benchmark 1 with students (grades 3-6)

Total School Cluster Grouping - We will have professional development on Sept. 2 and Sept. 9 with graduate students from Purdue on curriculum compacting and differentiation.

PBIS Note - September focus: Be Respectful

With the number of counselors meeting with kiddos during our lunch periods, I would like to avoid having students use their blue tickets to purchase "lunch in the conference room" on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We simply do not have the space. The others days should work fine, just send Brenda and I an email in advance, so we can avoid other conflicts.
